Jagadamba: A Play about Kasturba Gandhi
Saturday, September 7
7:00 pm
Drama Theater, UB Center for the Arts, UB North Campus
Tickets: $20; $10 for students
Jagadamba is a one-woman play in two acts that explores the life of Kasturba, the wife of Mohandas K. Gandhi. Jagadamba is the story of an uneducated woman who becomes a source of inspiration and comfort to one of the most important leaders of the 20th century. The play offers unique insights into the life of Mohandas Gandhi from the perspective of Kasturba, and examines two of Gandhi’s most important principlesundefinedsatyagraha (literally “truth force,” but now synonymous with nonviolent resistance) and brahmacharya (“celibacy,” but in a larger sense, renunciation). Presented by Triveni, the UB Asian Studies Program, and Office of the Vice Provost for International Education
